13. Sequencing Group/partner your students Give each group: Envelope with strips Glue stick Paper or poster to glue onto Have a place prepared for them to hang up their sequences when they are finished Check their sequences as they are hung up Allow time to review the proper sequence

14. Carousal Sharing What System for getting the students up and actively discussing with a partner/group their knowledge of a subject When May be used anytime during the learning process (beginning to assess prior knowledge or at the end to assess learning from a unit)

15. Carousal Sharing How Gather either poster boards, easels, or bulletin board paper Write/type out as many questions or situations dealing with the unit you are covering as you have posters boards Place the questions on the posters Tape the posters throughout the classroom

16. Carousal Sharing Partner/group your students (have as many groups as you have posters) Give each group a pen and some sticky notes Place one team at each poster The team will read the situation on the poster The team will answer the question posed to them on that poster Allow 2 to 3 minutes per poster, then rotate to the right
